Perk up your ears–our ears (of sweet corn) are great!

The plentiful rain and abundant sunshine we’ve had this spring and summer have made this year’s sweet corn absolutely delicious! Even our earliest variety is very sweet and tasty, and tender, of course! Here in Oceana County (and Hart, specifically) we have received rainfall when other parts of West Michigan have not. If you take a drive north, you can see the telltale signs of insufficient rainfall–cornstalks that are yellow and brown, and leaves on the cornstalks that stick spikily up instead of flopping over. Be sure to enjoy the best crops of summer–and that includes corn on the cob! We start picking our sweet corn early every morning, so you get that fresh flavor!
